Re: Performance profiling not working snort 2.8.6

["Andy Berryman" <aberryman () Cymtec com>]

It is started with this command, if that is what you are asking for.
It's running in IDS mode.

 

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/snort/libs /snort/snort -D -N -i eth1 -c
/snort/conf/snort.conf

 

Thanks,

Andy Berryman

How are you running Snort?

I have performance profiling turned on and am trying to some
diagnostics. But no file is being created when snort restarts and the
preprocessors aren't being profiled. The only thing that is working is
the "preprocessor perfmonitor:"

 

This is the options we've compiled snort with.

--enable-decoder-preprocessor-rules --enable-dynamicplugin
--enable-perfprofiling --enable-gre --enable-timestats
--enable-linux-smp-stats --enable-targetbased --enable-corefiles

 

Here's my snort.conf:

 

config profile_preprocs

config profile_rules: print 100, sort total_ticks, filename
/var/log/perf.txt

preprocessor perfmonitor: \

time 30 events flow max console pktcnt 10000
